Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has admitted that he has some regret over not being able to bring in Gonzalo Higuain during the summer transfer window.

With Antonio Conte not being sacked until mid July, it took a while for the Blues to get going in the market.

Their first signing didn't arrive until after Sarri was appointed as he was reunited with Jorginho - whom he managed at Napoli - before securing deals for Rob Green, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Mateo Kovacic on loan from Real Madrid.
